Woman Pleads Guilty To Crashing Into Government Building And Fleeing

In California, when an accident claims the life of another person, the person at fault can be looking at a number of charges. One of those charges is vehicular manslaughter, which can actually be a few different charges. If the driver is intoxicated at the time of the accident, not only will they face DUI charges, but they could also face vehicular manslaughter charges. In some cases, the charge may be gross vehicular manslaughter, which is always a felony. There is also a vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated charge that can be either a felony or a misdemeanor.
